Figure 4

Relative change in (a) cortical bone volume, (b) total volume and (c) medullary volume over 2 weeks of tibial compression at –2200 με and –3000 με. Tibial compression at –2200 με increased total volume in an age-dependent manner but also increased medullary volume, resulting in no net change in cortical bone. By contrast, tibial compression at –3000 με increased total volume and cortical bone volume in an age-dependent manner, despite increased medullary volume. All control tibiae lost cortical bone volume. Data are represented as mean±SD. *: significant difference between final and initial value; Black bracket: significant difference between ages; “a”: significant difference between loading magnitudes of respective age; p<0.05.
